A free and open-source keylogging software for Windows, logging keystrokes and capturing screenshots to monitor device activity, raising ethical concerns around privacy.
Iwantsoft Free Keylogger is a free, open-source keylogging application for Windows. It allows the user to secretly monitor keystrokes entered on a device as well as take periodic screenshots. The logged data can be viewed in real-time or accessed later in detailed reports.
This type of software has some legitimate uses for administrative tasks like employee monitoring. However, it also raises ethical concerns around personal privacy and consent. The stealth nature of monitoring could be considered spying, which violates trust. Still, parents argue a need to protect children online.
Overall, while the software works as advertised, users should carefully weigh if the benefits outweigh the risks considering consent and ethics. Free alternatives like this may seem appealing, but data logging should not be taken lightly when it infringes on reasonable privacy expectations.
